As business were in session, angry youth of Kintampo at the Brong Ahafo region, stormed the Kintampo College of Health with Sharp instruments causing fear and panic to tutors.

The youth known as the Kintampo Youth Movement, were protesting against decision by the Ministry of Health, asking the Director of the college, Prof Ahmed Adu Oppong, to stay aside in order to allow investigation into some financial malfeasance allegation levelled against him by some tutors.

According to the furious youth who halt activities of the college, indicated that, the development was a deliberate action by some of the tutors to get rid of the Director in order to allow their preferred person to be appointed to head the college.

However, the issue which became uncontrollable, took hours for personnel of the Ghana Police Service and military officers to ensure law and order.

Speaking to the media in Accra, one Haruna Mohammed, indicated that, “All the traditional leaders in Kintampo want Prof to continue working as the director.

“Even if he is made to step aside, we will want him back because he has done nothing wrong. Definitely, he will be exonerated by the investigations”, he stressed.
